Rear Lift Blocks

Can someone point me to a good rear block kit? I have the 2.5 leveling kit on the front with 35in tires. I wanna bring the back up a lil now. Probably 2inches. Thanks

AAL will be stiffer, blocks will ride the same with possibly more axle wrap.

Pick your poison...

thanks, which one is easier and less time consuming to install? i'm leaning towards the blocks but having a hard time finding a kit that includes the ubolts.

Autospring has a 3" block that replaces your 1 1/2" stock block for 1 1/2 lift.
I have a 2" autospring in front and the 3" block in the rear it came with U bolts and so far I am happy.

I got the fabtech 2" blocks (ftsbk22) and some superlift 10'' long u bolts from 4 wheel parts, whole thing cost me around 120 and some elbow grease
If you get blocks make sure they are the double prong! The first place I went to offered me a crappy 2.5'' that were single prong...I'm glad I decided to shop around because I found out that my '05 has double prong from a more knowledgeable store, and the ftsbk22's have an elevated bumpstop rest that will protect your truck if ever needed

i think you can buy the skyjacker blocks without ubolts for $50. I called the truck shop in town today and they said i'd need new shocks too. Quoted me $400 for blocks and shocks installed. I told them no thanks.
